Why hate the Heat? Why not?

Posted on June 13, 2011 by Parker Knox

So the Miami Triplets arranged things so they could win championships.  They promised 6 or 7 titles.  (Starting when, LeBron?)  And now they lose in the finals with three straight losses, and the other team clinches on Miami’s home court!  How sweet is that!

Some championship-calibre athletes stick with the team that hired them or drafted them and try to win championships.  If they don’t, fine.  If they do, terrific!  Then there are the arrogant ones who think that, for some reason, they DESERVE to win championships because of who they are.  Garnett left the Timberwolves to go to Boston; unfortunately he won his coveted ring there.  LeBron James found some place where he thought he would get his.  Well, look on your ring finger, King James.  No ring there yet!

Hating the Heat is like hating the Yankees.  Why?  Because they exist.

    That makes absolutely no sense at all. You hate the Yankees because they buy all their players to win.
